A Dutch report is linking Town with former Celtic striker Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink. The 30-year-old was released by the Bhoys at the end of last season.
The 6ft 1in tall frontman started his career at FC Twente and appeared at Portman Road in a pre-season friendly prior to Town’s 1999/00 promotion campaign.
In 1999, after five years with the Enschede club, the Oldenzaal-born player moved on to PSV. A further five years into his career the lengthily-named striker signed for Celtic for £3.4 million, shortly after Roy Keane had left Parkhead.
Since his release by Celtic, Vennegoor of Hesselink, who has been capped 27 times by Holland, scoring five goals, has been linked with numerous clubs including Blackburn, Hull City, Bristol City and Middlesbrough in the UK, Málaga in Spain and his former Dutch sides FC Twente and PSV.
The Blues are close to adding one, probably two, strikers to their squad, although earlier today manager Roy Keane said Town were speaking to clubs regarding the players they are interested in, which would not be necessary with the Dutchman as he is a free agent.
